Who was studied 6,796 African American cases, 4,385 African American maternal cases, 2,256 African American paternal cases, 69,627 African American controls.
The effect
The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size
; p = 1 × 10−9.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p12.3 — between genes, 48.8 kb from CD2AP-DT.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease, proxy Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease, proxy Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease, proxy Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
rs7738720 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CD2AP-DT gene. Published research associates it with alzheimer's disease, proxy alzheimer's disease or related dementias. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs7738720 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alzheimer's Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs7738720 mean I will get this?
No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.
Where does the information about rs7738720 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Molecular psychiatry 2023, PMID:36543923. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
